At the moment I’m reading: Paradise Lost by John Milton

For English A level I read a wide variety of texts, from Jane Eyre to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - but I didn't love anything so quickly or completely as Paradise Lost IX. Milton wields English as though it were Latin and I was caught off-guard by the intimate and authentic moments he'd carved out of his own unforgiving syntax. So, now that the exam is over and I finally have time, I'm reading the rest of the poem.
